Summer in Telluride is so incredible that some folks don’t even associate Telluride with winter or steep slopes of fresh powder.

Instead, they think of our quaint, mountainous town as the backdrop to world famous art and music festivals, a palette of wildflowers, a playground of trails and wilderness and the make-you-feel-like-a-kid-again feeling from seeing rainbows over the valley floor.

Summer is a beautiful time of year here, and the array of activities is as endless as your imagination. Here's the lowdown on entertainment and activities, where to stay and what to eat.

Plum's Guide to Festivals & Events

During the summer in our tiny town you can taste fabulous wines, dance to bluegrass, rock to blues, stretch into downward dog position, peruse art, watch world-class movies and documentaries, and – oh, you get the idea. There is never a shortage of arts, music or cultural activities during the summer in Telluride.
